PDX3 (YBR035C, P38075) notes
Identity
- Pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate oxidase (PNPOx), EC 1.4.3.5, FMN-dependent; PNPOx family with both PF01243 (PNPOx_N) and PF10590 (PNP_phzG_C) domains; crystal structure 1CI0 (homodimer with 2 FMN) [UniProt:P38075].
- Paralog-like YLR456W and YPR172W carry only PF01243 and are NOT PNP/PMP oxidases PMID:26327315 -- relevant to the module: only Pdx3 is the yeast PNPOx.
Function
- Original genetic/biochemical identification: aux30 (pdx3) mutants lack P(N/M)P oxidase activity and cannot use pyridoxine, but grow on pyridoxal or pyridoxamine PMID:7896706. Pleiotropic phenotypes (heme/sterol uptake) are downstream of PLP shortage.
- Recombinant Pdx3 binds FMN and oxidises PNP to PLP [PMID:26327315 "On the other hand, Pdx3 recombinant protein exhibits all expected properties of a bona fide P(N/M)P oxidase."; "Note that purified Pdx3 presents the characteristic yellow color of proteins that are bound to FMN."].
Localization
- Found in the mitochondrial intermembrane space proteome (Bax-release SILAC) PMID:22984289; previous localization "Unknown" in that table. Whether there is also a cytosolic pool is not established.
Pathway
- Yeast makes PLP de novo via Snz1/Sno1 (directly), so Pdx3 functions in salvage (PNP/PMP -> PLP), downstream of the kinase Bud16. InterPro2GO "pyridoxine biosynthetic process" reflects bacterial PdxH context and is not appropriate here.
2026-11 completion
- Status set to COMPLETE. All summaries were left verbatim (the PTHR10851
family review quotes two of them); reason added to every row that lacked
one, and the PAINT IBD rows are now quoted from
interpro/panther/PTHR10851/PTHR10851-paint.tsv on the three IBA rows.
- Cytosol (RCA, YeastPathways default compartment) resolved from UNDECIDED to
MARK_AS_OVER_ANNOTATED: the only localization assay places Pdx3 in the IMS,
and the IMS proteome paper notes PMID:22984289. A
cytosolic pool stays an open question (suggested_questions).
- Mitochondrion IBA kept (ACCEPT) after the organelle-policy check: the node is
seeded by Pdx3 itself and the IMS proteome supports the organelle claim.
- GO:0042823 IBA kept ACCEPT as the family-level process; the yeast-specific
route is GO:0009443 salvage. FMN binding ACCEPT, matching the bacterial PdxH
reviews completed in the same batch.
